Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for performing a total unduplicated reach and frequency analysis that analyzes a large set of variables practically. A plurality of variables are received. A subset of the plurality of variables is identified as variables of interest. Variables are partitioned randomly into groups. Each of the groups of variables contains fewer than a predetermined maximum number of variables for each group. The best combination of variables within each group is found through a total unduplicated reach and frequency analysis of each group. The winning variable or variables within each group are identified based on the highest reach score. The winners from each group analysis are then pooled into a group, and the process is repeated. The combination from the second stage with the best reach is then reported. Additional variable combinations ranked by reach may also be reported.
A computer implemented method for performing a total unduplicated reach and frequency analysis performed via a turf analysis application executing in a distributed data processing environment, the method comprising:
